LTK: Creator Guided Shopping

I scroll through Instagram a few times a day, usually following influencers and travel blogs. And let’s be honest, everyone has come across a style or something that they’re dying to know more about. You want the details. Where can I get it? How much does it cost? When can it be mine? Well, this app has all the details. Take a simple screenshot of your influencers photo, link, or profile on your Instagram, and it shows up in your LikeToKnowIt App! It saves all your screenshots, allows you to favorite photos or simply items you love. And there, you’re given all the details and just a few clicks away from making it yours. I love this app. I can not recommend it enough for anyone who wants to keep up with styles and needs an easy, quick way to shop for the best, highly recommended fashion pieces!

I really love this app, I use it more than most others on my phone. So much better and more accurate than something like Pinterest, because it’s specific to linking items and influencers. With the recent updates, tho, the UX of the app has gone down significantly in my opinion. The swipe functionality is no longer convenient, it’s actually just frustrating. Clicking out of items you want to view without visiting the actual link to each one shouldn’t be so difficult. One of the best things about the app in the first place was the ability to view really simple information quickly (like price, for ex) and not having to reroute to the affiliate links - which I keep accidentally doing Bc I can’t swipe out of an item pop up at my own free will it seems. I also used to be able to view an individual post and then swipe left to go back to the grid screen to keep browsing and now it most often goes to another individual post that I wouldn’t have otherwise clicked on. These are super minor things that make viewing items (the purpose of the app) kind of annoying now. Hopefully there are improvements soon Bc this is such a helpful app for avid shoppers.

I hate shopping in stores / refuse to do it. I love that Like to Know has made online shopping so much easier! I can find real everyday women (as opposed to professional models) with similar bodies and styles to me and see what they pull off instead of me trying in a bazillion things and driving all over god’s creating. 2 gripes: 1) Opening a new tab in safari for every item I want to look at it is SO annoying. I would use this app way more if could view the items “in app” instead of bouncing back and forth between safari and app. 2) Are you supposed to be able to just “like” a picture and it show up in your LiTK app? If so, it doesn’t work for me. I have to screenshot the picture. Just liking it would be way better. I don’t want a bunch of screenshots piling up in my photo albums. That said, this is a minor issue as I can always just bulk delete.

I really like this app... but I think it could be even better if the exact items that are shown in the pictures were the only options. I get that it’s nice to have other options in case items sell out, but could the exact items shown on the models be identified or starred or flagged in the photos below somehow? And when there are sale alerts, there’s no way to know what exact item in the photo is for sale. It’s annoying to have to select each item’s picture (shoes? Watch? Sweater? Jeans?) and get directed to each retail site until you can figure out which item is actually on sale. I’m a new user, so that’s just my first impression. Maybe these things already exist and I just haven’t figured it out yet.

It would be better if I could tap on the item and have it tell me the store and price instead of taking me to the website. I would choose to go to the website later, but I’m usually first just wanting to know where to get it. And the navigating between websites just takes too long on my phone. The other thing that I wish they would change is that they should say if it is the actual item or a similar item. It’s frustrating when I think I am finding the item and it is a totally different item that they think is similar enough. It is usually not very similar at all. And when they show similar items in addition to the actual item, they should let the viewer know which is the actual item (because there are times when they do look similar). Otherwise, I am really enjoying this app so much!!!
